The Big Trip and Wheeler-DeWitt equation
Of all the possible ways to describe the behavior of the universe that has
undergone a big trip the Wheeler-DeWitt equation should be the most accurate --
provided, of course, that we employ the correct formulation. In this article we
start by discussing the standard formulation introduced by Gonz\'alez-D\'iaz
and Jimenez-Madrid, and show that it allows for a simple yet efficient method
of the solution's generation, which is based on the Moutard transformation.
Next, by shedding the unnecessary restrictions, imposed on aforementioned
standard formulation we introduce a more general form of the Wheeler-DeWitt
equation. One immediate prediction of this new formula is that for the universe
the probability to emerge right after the big trip in a state with will
be maximal if and only if .Comment: accepted in Astrophysics and Space Scienc
Multiple CDM cosmology with string landscape features and future singularities
Multiple CDM cosmology is studied in a way that is formally a
classical analog of the Casimir effect. Such cosmology corresponds to a
time-dependent dark fluid model or, alternatively, to its scalar field
presentation, and it motivated by the string landscape picture. The future
evolution of the several dark energy models constructed within the scheme is
carefully investigated. It turns out to be almost always possible to choose the
parameters in the models so that they match the most recent and accurate
astronomical values. To this end, several universes are presented which mimick
(multiple) CDM cosmology but exhibit Little Rip, asymptotically de
Sitter, or Type I, II, III, and IV finite-time singularity behavior in the far
future, with disintegration of all bound objects in the cases of Big Rip,
Little Rip and Pseudo-Rip cosmologies.Comment: LaTeX 11 pages, 10 figure
An Infrared Divergence Problem in the cosmological measure theory and the anthropic reasoning
An anthropic principle has made it possible to answer the difficult question
of why the observable value of cosmological constant (
GeV) is so disconcertingly tiny compared to predicted value of vacuum
energy density GeV. Unfortunately, there is a
darker side to this argument, as it consequently leads to another absurd
prediction: that the probability to observe the value for randomly
selected observer exactly equals to 1. We'll call this controversy an infrared
divergence problem. It is shown that the IRD prediction can be avoided with the
help of a Linde-Vanchurin {\em singular runaway measure} coupled with the
calculation of relative Bayesian probabilities by the means of the {\em
doomsday argument}. Moreover, it is shown that while the IRD problem occurs for
the {\em prediction stage} of value of , it disappears at the {\em
explanatory stage} when has already been measured by the observer.Comment: 9 pages, RevTe
Parameterization and Reconstruction of Quasi Static Universe
We study a possibility of the fate of universe, in which there is neither the
rip singularity, which results in the disintegration of bound systems, nor the
endless expansion, instead the universe will be quasi static. We discuss the
parameterization of the corresponding evolution and the reconstruction of the
scalar field model. We find, with the parameterization consistent with the
current observation, that the current universe might arrive at a quasi static
phase after less than 20Gyr.Comment: minor changes and Refs. added, publish in EPJ
Supermassive neutron stars in axion F(R) gravity
© 2020 The Author(s). We investigated realistic neutron stars in axion R2 gravity. The coupling between curvature and axion field Ï is assumed in the simple form ~R2Ï. For the axion mass in the range ma ~ 10-11-10-10 eV the solitonic core within neutron star and corresponding halo with size ~100 km can exist. Therefore the effective contribution of R2 term grows inside the star and it leads to change of star parameters (namely, mass, and radius). We obtained the increase of star mass independent from central density for wide range of masses. Therefore, maximal possible mass for given equation of state grows. At the same time, the star radius increases not so considerably in comparison with GR. Hence, our model may predict possible existence of supermassive compact stars with masses M ~2.2-2.3Mâ and radii Rs ~11 km for realistic equation of state (we considered APR equation of state). In general relativity one can obtain neutron stars with such characteristics only for unrealistic, extremely stiff equations of state. Note that this increase of mass occurs due to change of solution for scalar curvature outside the star. In GR curvature drops to zero on star surface where Ï = p = 0. In the model underconsideration the scalar curvature dumps more slowly in comparison with vacuum R2 gravity due to axion 'galo' around the star
An infrared divergence in the cosmological measure theory and the anthropic reasoning
An anthropic principle has made it possible to answer the difficult question of why the observable value of cosmological constant (ÎâŒ10â47 GeV4) is so disconcertingly tiny compared to the predicted value of vacuum energy density Ï
SUSYâŒ1012 GeV4. Unfortunately, there is a darker side to this argument; being combined with the cosmic heat death scenario, it consequently leads to another absurd prediction: the probability of randomly selected observer observing Î=0 ends up being exactly equal to 1. We shall call this controversy an infrared divergence problem. It is shown that the IRD prediction can be avoided with the help of a singular runaway measure coupled with the calculation of relative Bayesian probabilities by the means of the doomsday argument. Moreover, it is shown that while the IRD problem occurs for the prediction stage of value of Î, it disappears at the explanatory stage when Î has already been measured by the observer
